Bichette went 3-for-5 with a solo home run, two RBI and two runs in the win Monday over the Mariners.
Bichette took Chris Flexen deep in his first at-bat Monday, giving the Blue Jays a 1-0 lead in the bottom of the first. He later singled twice, adding another RBI and coming around to score again. The homer was his fourth of the year and first since May 1. The three-hit effort was the shortstop's second in his last five contests, though he had gone 0-for-10 in his last three heading into Monday's victory. Bichette has yet to find his stride this season and his slash line is at .247/.285/.373 over 150 at-bats, all of which represent career worsts. The 24-year-old will look to have more similar outputs in the near future and return to form as the campaign goes on.

Rotowire
Bichette went 3-for-5 with two runs scored in Thursday's loss to the Guardians.

Bichette's .254/.280/.377 slash line on the season remains well below expectations, but the 24-year-old is more than capable of staying hot for a couple weeks and boosting those numbers significantly.

Blue Jays' Bo Bichette: Beats Boston with first career slam
Rotowire
Bichette went 1-for-4 with a grand slam in Monday's 6-2 win over the Red Sox.
With the score tied 2-2 in the bottom of the eighth inning and the bases loaded, Bichette drove a Matt Strahm sinker on the outer half of the plate to right field for his first career slam. The 24-year-old shortstop has had a sluggish start to 2022 that includes an uncharacteristic 28.0 percent strikeout rate, but Monday's homer -- his second of the season -- could be a sign Bichette is about to break out.

Blue Jays' Bo Bichette: Swipes bag Sunday
Rotowire
Bichette went 1-for-4 with a run scored and a stolen base in Sunday's Grapefruit League game against the Yankees.
He swiped third base off Luis Gil in the third inning, forcing a wild throw from the right-hander that allowed Bichette to trot home. The 24-year-old shortstop hasn't seen great results at the plate this spring, going 5-for-27 (.185) with only one extra-base hit, but he's stolen two bags in two attempts and his 4:8 BB:K is solid. After recording 29 homers and 25 steals in 2021, Bichette has a 30/30 campaign firmly in his sights this season.
